Comparing pain medicines for menstrual cramps in Crohn’s disease
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests two common over-the-counter pain relievers (ibuprofen and acetaminophen) to see which works better for menstrual cramps in women who also have Crohn's disease while in remission. If you have Crohn's and painful periods, this may help you find a safer option.
